Dusk Wrote:Rusty, read the edited part of my post. How is 6500 damage going to kill everybody? Only ranged classes without HB would die, exactly as you said.
HP washing should not be an option. It shouldn't exist. If you really want to put damage on a threshold where only washed ranged classes can survive, fix the way we increase our HP. More opportunities to scroll gear for HP, higher defense values, and more base HP on higher level equips to encourage the use of them should be the answer.
It looks to me like Shadowers just spam Boomerang Step and go into Dark Sight when he gets close. That's what the Shadower I BFed with today did. I don't get why that's risky o_o it's just slow.
Find me an archer with a 5k base min damage range. Actually, find me an archer with a 5k base max damage range - that's calling for at least level 160 with godly equips. Then add in Bigfoot's defense. Archers can't consistently hit 5k on crits unless their stats are godly. I dunno how well NLs do with that, though.
Why would get the toad boss?
1st- I dont want it to be impossible for ranged to survive, just that they need HB to survive. HP washing is up to the person. If you dont wanna HP wash then bring a DK with you.
2nd- Maybe your right, HP washing shouldnt be an option. The thing is, it is an option. It's part of the game we're playing, and it's a very valid point to use when debating something like this. Like I said, you dont need to wash, just add points into HP. Sorry if your damage get lower, but any warrior who needs to add dex to hit stuff won't sympathize with you.
3rd- Sure you can sit and spam BStep til it's dead. It'll just take over 2 hours. That doesn't exactly help paladins or bucs though.
4th- Who said they should be able to consistently knock it back? The whole point behind the 5k touch damage and high knockback damage is to keep him from being pinned, but make his touch damage survivable.
5th- Why do you want to raise his touch damage so high? Just so even HP washed would die? I don't know why you're so anti-HP washed. If you don't want to wash/put points in HP, then thats your own problem. You shouldn't hope to kill off all washed chars just because you don't want/can't afford to wash.
6th- Have you read my "Perfect Maple Boss Fight" thread? I'd like you to go there, look through it, and find someone that said keeping a boss pinned all day long is the best way to make a boss.
